Would I go back to Benihana? No I wouldn't. Their sashimi and maki's are pretty cheap (KD1.5 for 5 pieces of Salmon sashimi for example) but there are two other Japanese restaurants at the Avenues, Wasabi and Maki, and I would prefer either one of those to Benihana.

In the United States, that's probably where it would have ended. Post-liberation Kuwait, however, isn't the haven of democracy one might expect. It is a haven for business, and companies can run roughshod over free-speech rights we Americans take for granted. The upshot: Benihana sued Makhou for $18,000, according to Fast Company.
